Polaroid Dust And Scratch Removal Filter

Here is some useful free software that can be installed either as a stand alone Mac application for batch processing, or as a plug-in for Photoshop/Elements (Mac or PC). Its useful for removing dust and scratch marks from scanned slides, negatives or photos. It works much better than the dust and scratch filter within Photoshop. It's also useful if your scanner does not have infrared digital ICE dust removal or if you are photographing slides, negatives or prints with a camera. The downside is that this is a 32 bit programme so the plug in can only be used on a 32 bit version of Photoshop/Elements (There is no harm keeping an older version of PSE on your computer). The first article by Ken Rockwell gives instructions for installing on a Mac.
